How Sarah Shahi makes her money
Television is where she earns most of her income. She has been a regular on network and streaming series for two decades, and each leading or recurring role pays a fee per episode.
Sex/Life on Netflix was a standout, a hit show that put her in the lead for two seasons, and Paradise on Hulu keeps her in a major role in a current series.
Film work adds smaller amounts. Black Adam, a superhero film, and Red, White and Royal Blue, a streaming romantic comedy, are among her recent credits, mostly in supporting parts.
Because most of her roles are in television, her income reflects steady work rather than large single paydays.
